He wrote, "I am really sorry for inflicting a lot of psychological and physical pain on the person whom I've trusted and loved and vice versa for two years through this act. �I am ashamed that I behaved in a way I shouldn't have as a man. �As everything in this incident was my fault, that person has no reason for receiving criticism. �I apologize once again to that person, and I want to relay words of apology like this to that person's family and acquaintances.

"I hope, more than anything, that she will accept my apology and forgive me. �Using this as an opportunity, I will work hard to become a bit more considerate and to live more healthily."
